Mark Batterson

Lead Pastor

Mark Batterson, Lead Pastor

Mark was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and grew up in Naperville, Illinois.

Mark went to the University of Chicago on scholarship playing basketball and majoring in pre-law. After a prayer walk through a cow pasture, he felt called to full time ministry and ended up at Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. That's the short story. Mark also holds a Doctor of Ministry from Regent University. He is the author of 24 books including his first published title, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day and The Circle Maker, a New York Times Bestseller.

Mark and his wife, Lora, moved to Washington, DC, in 1994 to direct an inner-city ministry. He has served as Lead Pastor of National Community Church since 1996. Under his leadership, NCC has grown from a core group of 19 people to one church with multiple locations. 

Mark and Lora live on Capitol Hill and have three children: Parker, Summer, and Josiah.

Anthony Stewart

Facilities Engineer

Growing up in the DMV area playing sports and going to school, Anthony has always had a love of working with his hands. He went to Towson University to become a business student realizing that wasn’t the fit for him. He saw the chance to work in IT after college. Being in that field and able to help others was such a blessing. He saw how much joy that brought him. His wife and he started in a small group and fell in love with NCC. Now, being able to work in the church while doing something he loves, he couldn’t pass. It's a great chance to grow in spirit and talent.
